Ensure you're receiving Hyatt promo emails and/or check their offers page periodically for bonus points and other promos. Enjoy.
I plan on purchasing that stack of 72,000 Hyatt points for $775 USD from the upcoming US Travel promotion I linked to. If I did my math correctly, my stay at the Hyatt Place would work out to $130 USD/night which from previous experience is a great rate for Hawaii in general, but especially given the time of year I'm going (major conference) and its location. I'm debating about buying additional stacks of points from the promotion as I see Hyatt has a presence in other cities I'm travelling to (i.e. Taipei), and their redemptions aren't half bad.
